A.7. NLPIA automagic

Fortunately for you, nlpia has some automatic environment provisioning procedures that will download the NLTK, Spacy, Word2vec models, and the data you need for this book. These downloaders will be triggered whenever you call an nlpia wrapper function, like segment_sentences(), that requires any of these datasets or models. But this software is a work in progress, continually maintained and expanded by readers like you. So you may want to know how to manually install these packages and download the data you need to make them work for you when the automagic of nlpia fails. And you may just be curious about some of the datasets that make sentence parsing and part of speech taggers possible. So, if you want to customize your environment, the remaining appendices show you how to install and configure the individual pieces you need for a full-featured NLP development environment.
